Problem
Traditional methods of assessing brain health, such as imaging, often fail to capture the subtle changes in the brain's microvascular network that are crucial for early detection of cerebrovascular disease. Current testing methods can be expensive, require the presence of symptoms, and may deliver results too late to effectively manage cognitive decline. This makes proactive monitoring of brain health challenging.
Solution
Sage Cerebro offers SageSignal, a blood-based biomarker test designed to provide insights into brain wellness. The test measures six clinically-recognized biomarkers associated with cognitive performance and brain health. Using a virtually painless at-home blood collection device, individuals can track their Composite NeuroScore and individual biomarker levels over time. The results include educational resources to help users understand the implications of their biomarker levels and general wellness considerations.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes proactive individuals interested in monitoring their brain health, biohackers tracking various health metrics, those with a family history of cognitive decline, and individuals curious about breakthrough science in brain health.
